Comment (by ryandesign):

 I'm not saying a symlink in ${prefix}/bin is the right choice, but why
 don't you like it?

 I'm wary of hard links because they are at first glance indistinguishable
 from separate files. It may be possible to detect that a file is a hard
 link of another, but [https://superuser.com/questions/166895/how-does-
 time-machine-deal-with-hard-links Time Machine for example doesn't attempt
 to do that] so if we make a habit of hard linking things that will
 unnecessarily increase the size of users' backups.

 Do consider introducing a new app 1.1 portgroup rather than modifying app
 1.0. For example, app 1.0 has the app.executable option, and if that's set
 to a path within the destroot, it symlinks that into the app bundle as its
 executable. If you change that behavior in app 1.0, then you immediately
 have to revbump every port that uses that feature of app 1.0. That's a lot
 of work identifying all those ports, and a lot of builds for the buildbot
 to do all at once. So instead, you could introduce app 1.1 that makes
 app.executable either hardlink it or move the original and put a symlink
 in its place. Then ports can switch from app 1.0 to 1.1 when it's
 convenient, for example when they need to update their version anyway. We
 could enable retina mode by default so that ports don't all have to do it
 manually. And we could add the new CFBundleDisplayName key. If we can
 think of any other changes we should be making to app structure generally
 or to the keys that we add to the Info.plist this would be a good time to
 do it.
